Abstract

This paper considers the optimization of parameters for a railroad transport system. The maximum level of technological reliability and the average time spent by trains on the route are used as optimization criteria. The purpose of the study is to establish the optimal parameters for the operational process of railroad transport systems according to the criterion of the maximum level of technological reliability and the minimum time of trains on the route. Methods of technological reliability research have been proposed. Taking into account that the entire technological process is a sequential set of technological elements, a simulation model of the technological process of the transit transport-technological line along a route direction has been built. A population of agents that simulates the operation of railroad sections of the rotation of train locomotives and is a key subsystem of the simulation model has been developed and configured. The simulation model makes it possible to optimize the parameters of multi-section railroad lines. This approach is provided owing to the agent approach. As a result of the experiments, the optimal parameters of the functioning of railroad lines were established when organizing the passage of transit trains. The coefficient of utilization of the locomotive fleet fluctuates within the optimal range (0.55–0.65), which indicates the sufficiency of traction resources in the railroad system. The optimal parameters of the railroad transport system were established experimentally using the example of a train flow of 85 pairs of trains on a two-track route with five sections. The problem of "abandoned trains" has a solution but, to this end, it is necessary to increase the fleet of train locomotives by 150–200 % relative to existing standards. At the same time, even with an unlimited fleet of train locomotives, there is a fairly high probability (up to 30–50 %) of technological failures
